Rollerman back to Altenberg

This is the second competition “Beton On Fire” of Rollerman at Altenberg Germany.

secret border

Altenberg is the last village on the mountain south of dresden before the lower plains of Czech republic. It used to be a place of miners making hole in the ground. Later it was the hidden place of head of east germain secret services. It has a cold swiss alpin climat propitious for winter sports like ski and sledge.

roots of variations

In the long period of cold war, sport was used as promoting for the communist regime. At this period they decided to build the best track of the world with all difficulties possible in order to perfectly prepare the athletes. that is one of the reason why the track of Altenberg is so interesting to practice.

The Chunchon event is very friendly, it is a tradition that all athlete share meals like big family.
After the event, Jean Yves could go freeride at one of the fastest road of South korea.
usually it is difficult to move the korean friends to technical fast tracks. But this time they agreed. Until they saw the road where they decided to not skate it. So Jean Yves made it alone. The good point is that the road ends in a dead end. So there is a very few traffic. The place is a wonder it has legendary fairy tale and magic temple lost in mountain.

The next video show a training for downhill with korean rider from extreme skater club
early in spring before the event at Chunchon. It is a typical Korean training place for downhill.

Graveyard call near house

Back to the Graveyard call race near annecy, with blue suit now. That’s the place James Kelly tried the BUGGY ROLLIN suit. That was not easy, because the other skaters were laughing-kidding. Thus and as a good skater, but he was not a good student. James was refusing to hear what the master would say to help him. Maybe he was too proud ? Or maybe he had to protect his star status? It is difficult to start a new sport. Obviously the first steps must be done in private to be focused and at peace. He had the courage to go up against the easy jokes of his pairs. Thankfully, and have a nice word for the camera.

Care less

The armor was not treated with tenderness. Maybe he did not know the value in work of the things he used. It is always hard to see an armor that has demanded so many hours of work crushed on the floor.

Like in a game

After a few days in Sydney, we went to mount panorama. The road is a circuit for car race very famous in Australia. It goes up and comes back down on the other side of the mountain. The floor quality is exceptional. With all the sponsors pantings on the security walls it make a graphic effect comparable to a video game.

For the end one of the Sydney’s beauty.

Rollerman at Almabtrieb 2010

Rollerman at Almabtrieb 2010 was nice. Among the classic longboard racing world, Almabtrieb is Germany’s capital race. Because it is the main event for german longboard world, it is well organized and a lot of athletes from all over the world go there. We were lucky with the weather.

a fast road profile.

The street start at the top of the hill with a dead end. The road is a little bit flat as slalom between the houses. Then it dives into the forest all along the side of the hill. This long straight make a huge acceleration. It ends by a left hair pin. And finishes before the bottom of valley.

First there is a week of freeride training and then the brackets of the world championships.

Life style

What happen after the race is even more important. The camping becomes a huge Holliday camp and the main tent the party place.
